Last night, in the Tianfeng Hall of the palace, King Yongan accompanied the queen all night.

Because the queen was afraid that she was the emperor, she heard about Chu Tiankuo from other people's mouths, and she was in a hurry to make trouble with her, so she had to make a heart and deceive her that the emperor said that she had a headache. Her emperor believed it and guarded her every step of the way.

King Yong'an has been emaciated in recent days in order to take care of his father. In addition, his mother's headache was even more worried, and the whole person was like a winter tree, with the feeling of falling and withering all of a sudden, and there was a feeling of helplessness and hesitation in his heart.

After the imperial doctor came to diagnose and treat, the queen lay on the bed in the palace, and King Yong'an accompanied him by the bed, not daring to relax for a moment. He had not rested well for several days, and he was tired and tired, and he did not force himself to cheer up and not let himself doze off.

The queen lay on the bed, seeing that her emperor was so haggard, she was reluctant, and when it was the third watch, she called him to another inner room to rest.

She smiled and said gently: "An'er, the queen mother feels that the headache has been reduced, just let the palace maid take care of it." Go and rest in the inner room, and the queen mother will go to bed. ”

As she spoke, she looked at King Yong'an lovingly, her eyes full of distress.

King Yong'an's warm hands held his mother's somewhat cold hands, and said in a firm tone: "No, the queen mother." Erchen is not going anywhere tonight, just here to accompany his mother. If the queen mother is sleepy, she can close her eyes and sleep peacefully. ”

Listening to the emperor's words, the queen's heart was warm. It was in vain that she worked hard to conceive a baby and give birth to him in October, and poured all her heart and soul into it. She did all the things that hurt the heavens and reason, all for her emperor. She wanted him to ascend to the throne of God.

However, has the queen ever reflected that all this she planned may not be what her emperor wants?

"An'er, listen to the queen mother's words, go to the inner room to rest, the queen mother's head really doesn't hurt." The queen couldn't help but tell the truth.

Originally, her head didn't hurt. It's all under her control. Chu Tiankuo, as she wished, fell into a trap and was captured by her.

Now, the emperor is unconscious, and she is alone in the palace, and she has the final say. As long as it was three o'clock in the afternoon, Chu Tiankuo was beheaded and displayed to the public, and she had a heart disease for many years.

At this time, her mood is simply not too good, how can she have a headache?

She just pretended to have a headache and tricked the emperor into accompanying her. To put it bluntly, she just wanted to put her emperor under house arrest, for fear that he would make trouble when he learned about Chu Tiankuo.

As long as she lasts for three o'clock in the afternoon tomorrow, she will be relieved if she kills Chu Tiankuo. When the emperor woke up, it was understandable to complain about her, but he couldn't help her. She disposed of Chu Tiankuo in accordance with the law, and the emperor had nothing to say. And if her emperor asks questions, she can prevaricate with just a few words.

However, at this moment, she felt sorry for the emperor who couldn't sleep at night in order to guard her, and couldn't bear to see her emperor working so hard, so she thought about letting him go back to the inner room to sleep.

The queen opened her mouth several times and urged her to go to another inner room to rest.

However, King Yong'an just couldn't drive away, so he had to stick to her, and his attitude was determined to stay at the head of his mother's bed. How did he know that the headache was pretended by his mother, and even if his mother told him the truth, he would not believe it.

In this way, the mother and son persuaded each other again until the queen fell asleep. Because she drank the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor, which helped her sleep.

In this way, the king of Yong'an guarded his mother, and did not close his eyes all night until dawn.

When the first rays of morning light pierced through the mist and entered the dormitory through the window, King Yong'an rubbed his eyes. He looked at the queen mother, who was still sleeping deeply on the bed, and a comfortable smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He stood up, stretched, and moved the meridians of his body. At this time, the figure of his father and emperor appeared in his mind, so he especially strongly wanted to go to the Heavenly Dragon Hall to have a look.

For him, his father is as important as his mother, and he is concerned about the safety of both of them.

When he reached the gate of the Heavenly Phoenix Palace, the guards stopped him and prevented him from going out. He couldn't help but be a little surprised, what was going on? These people are really getting more and more disagreeable, and they even dare to block his way.

"Get out of the way, this king is going to the Heavenly Dragon Palace."

The guards at the door were all flushed, I don't know if it was blown by the cold wind or caused by nervousness. They were very embarrassed: "Lord, please don't embarrass the minions. This is what the queen mother ordered, let you stay in this Tianfeng Hall and accompany her. ”

Hearing this, King Yongan was stunned for a moment, and some couldn't react. Is his mother so reluctant to let him go?

"Nonsense! How could the queen mother do this? The queen mother has always told this king to take good care of his father, and now this king wants to go to the Tianlong Palace to see his father, but you dare to stop it! Are you tired of being alive? King Yong'an's tone was not very friendly, and he seemed to be very displeased.

Perhaps it was because of the recent troubles, his father was seriously ill, and his mother was also sick, and he was anxious and unable to sleep and eat, so that his temper grew.

The guards at the gate were frightened by King Yong'an's words, where had they ever seen him lose his temper like this? In their impression, King Yong'an has always been amiable and polite to people.

Where did King Yong'an threaten them like this? 'Are you tired of being alive?' This sentence was quite powerful to them, and it scared them a lot.

However, under the pressure of the queen, they still did not dare to let King Yongan go out. What if the queen is to blame? So, they stiffened their heads and stiffened their mouths: "The prince is angry." The minions just waited for the queen's order to act, and asked the prince to be considerate. ”

What are these words? It means that they obey his mother and will not stop him. It's clear that he doesn't take him seriously. King Yong'an's attitude towards going out was very resolute, no matter how the guards tried to stop him, he must go out.

He didn't dig into why his mother forced him to stay here.

He smiled and said coldly, "Do you want to do the opposite?" You dare not disobey the will of the queen mother, but you have come to embarrass the king. It seems that this king is too kind to you on weekdays. ”

As he spoke, pretending to go inside, he continued to say, "Okay." Good. Good. The king went to ask the queen mother to see if the queen mother really wanted to lock the king here. If not, you minions, sow discord like this, watch out your heads. ”

Hearing this, the guards were shocked and looked at each other. I couldn't make up my mind for a while. Where would they not know, the Xuanwai voice of the King of Yong'an. It wasn't that they stirred up trouble and deliberately made things difficult for him, it was really an order from the queen.

They also couldn't figure out why the queen wanted to imprison King Yong'an here. It really doesn't make sense. With the queen's usual favor for King Yong'an, how could he not restrict his freedom so much.

Now what? King Yong'an wants to go out, will they let him go or not? Let them go, I'm afraid the queen will trouble them. If you don't let them go, I'm afraid that King Yong'an will trouble them. After all, King Yong'an has said it all.

It's a dilemma for them. They had never seen King Yong'an so ruthless and verbally threatening. It can be seen that King Yongan is really angry, and the consequences are very serious.

Of course, King Yong'an didn't really want to go in and ask his mother. He took advantage of his mother's deep sleep to sneak out to see his father. He said this and pretended to do it, just to frighten the guards at the door and let him out.

He knew that if they understood what he meant, they would let him out.

As soon as the words fell, he didn't look at the reactions of the guards, turned and walked slowly inside.

One step, two steps, three steps......

Six steps. Stop!

Just when King Yong'an took six steps inward, a very consistent voice came from behind him: "Lord Wang, stay behind!" ”

King Yong'an coughed dryly, reluctantly turned around, and looked at them coldly.

"Lord, the minions are willing to give way. It's just that if the queen is held accountable, she begs the prince to say good things for the minions. ”

Guards at the door, choose wisely. Of course, they did not forget to ask for amulets for themselves. In this palace, if you want to survive, you must learn to observe words and colors, and judge the situation.

"Of course. Listen to the king, and he will not do you any wrong. If the queen mother embarrasses you, the king will intercede for you. ”

The guards at the gate were assured by the king of Yong'an, and only then did they make a way.

When King Yong'an rushed to the Tianlong Palace, he saw Liu Xin guarding the dragon's bed. He was a little surprised: "Manager Liu, you were guarding my father last night?" ”

With Liu Xin taking care of his father, of course he was relieved. If he knew that Liu Xin was here, he didn't have to rush over. If his mother wakes up and can't see him, she will be lost again.

King Yong'an was talking to Liu Xin while looking at his father who was lying on the bed. Seeing that his father was sleeping peacefully, he felt a lot better. It's just that his father has not been able to wake up, which makes him panic.

When Liu Xin was anxious, he suddenly saw the arrival of King Yong'an and was overjoyed. Last night, he accompanied the emperor all night, hoping that the emperor would wake up, so that Chu Tiankuo would be saved. But he stayed hard all night, and there was no movement.

As for when the emperor would wake up, Liu Xin didn't know at all. He was anxiously waiting for the emperor to wake up soon, but it was useless for him to be anxious. Seeing that it was three o'clock in the afternoon, if the emperor couldn't wake up, I was afraid that Chu Tiankuo would really be beheaded to show the public.

To his great delight, King Yong'an came. When Liu Xin saw King Yong'an, he seemed to see a savior, and replied excitedly: "Yes, last night it was the ministers who guarded the emperor for the night." The prince came just in time. The minister happened to ask the prince to come forward. ”

King Yong'an nodded gratefully: "It's hard work for Mr. Liu." If there is anything that needs the king's help, Mr. Liu just spoke. ”

Liu Xin's eyes swept around the inner room, and said to the eunuchs and palace maids in the room, "You all quit." ”

Those eunuchs and palace maids received the order, and they all retreated.

Only Liu Xin and King Yong'an were left in the room, as well as the emperor who was lying on the bed and was not awake.

King Yong'an opened his mouth and said, "Mr. Liu has something to do, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

Liu Xin couldn't help but say, and knelt down in front of King Yong'an: "Lord Wang, the minister dares to ask you to come forward to save someone, and ask the prince to agree." ”

King Yong'an was visibly surprised. He still knows a little about Liu Xin. Because Liu Xin is a big celebrity next to his father, he has a very good relationship with his father, so he is naturally familiar with Liu Xin. It's just that after so many years, Liu Xin has hardly asked him to do something.

Liu Xin is the chief eunuch in the palace, and his power is quite large, and many eunuchs and palace maids look down on him. What can Liu Xin ask him for?

He wanted to accept it in one bite, but what he said was: "Manager Liu, what is bothering you?" Let's hear it first. If you can help, this king will definitely not refuse. ”

After a whole night of thinking, Liu Xin had already thought of his words. Now, regardless of whether King Yong'an can agree to save Chu Tiankuo or not, he can only do his best. He asked step by step, "Did the prince know what happened in the Bright Moon Hall last night?" ”

King Yong'an was confused and looked at him with a bewildered expression. How did he know what happened last night? And no one told him.

Although he didn't know what was happening, he already had a bad feeling. Maybe......

Judging from King Yong'an's abnormal reaction, Liu Xin knew that he must have known nothing about what happened last night.

So he told King Yong'an what he had seen and heard last night in its original and detailed details. When he described to King Yong'an what happened last night, he was so engrossed that he didn't notice the slightest movement of the emperor lying on the dragon's bed.

At this time, the emperor was still lying quietly on the dragon bed, but his consciousness was gradually recovering. He could faintly hear someone talking around him, but he couldn't hear what was being said. His fingertips twitched slightly, and that was all.

He felt like he had woken up, but he couldn't open his eyes. Suddenly there was a feeling of falling into the abyss, oh, where is he? What's wrong with him? Struggling hard, trying harder, in vain.

King Yong'an listened to Liu Xin's retelling, and his expression became more and more solemn. When he heard that Chu Tiankuo was caught by his mother, he looked flustered and said in a daze, "Why did the queen mother do this? ”

Just hearing that his imperial brother Chu Tiankuo was captured, he was so out of shape, if he heard that his mother was going to kill his imperial brother, he might be in a hurry.

Liu Xin didn't reply, and then continued: "The queen has ordered that Chu Tiankuo be beheaded at the noon gate at three o'clock in the afternoon today. ”

Like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, King Yong'an felt a thunderclap explode above his head. He yelled in a hurry: "No! This king went to the Tianfeng Palace to find the queen mother. In any case, this king wants to save the royal brother. ”

His heart was choked, and there was an indescribable strangeness that he sensed his mother's intentions. He suddenly realized that his queen mother had deceived him last night. Just to keep him in the Tianfeng Hall and avoid learning about Chu Tiankuo. No wonder the guards of the Heavenly Phoenix Hall prevented him from going out.

No wonder he felt that his mother was a little weird last night, looking like he had a headache and forbearance, and he looked like he didn't have a headache but pretended to be in pain. He was taken advantage of by the queen mother.

All this is just to deal with his imperial brother Chu Tiankuo, in order to prevent him from rescuing his imperial brother.

If it weren't for the fact that his mother was still sleeping deeply, he wouldn't have had a chance to sneak out to see his father. Of course, there is no way to know that his royal brother is about to be beheaded for public display.

King Yong'an, who learned the truth, was so bad that he couldn't hold back the anxiety in his heart, left the Tianlong Palace, and went to his mother in a rage. In any case, he desperately tried his best to save his royal brother.

Before Liu Xin finished speaking, King Yong'an ran out angrily, somewhat unexpectedly. He also thought that King Yong'an would hesitate which side to take. But he didn't expect that King Yong'an would defend his imperial brother so much without the slightest hesitation.

A stone fell to the ground in his heart, and with King Yong'an coming forward, Chu Tiankuo might be saved.

All this is just to deal with his imperial brother Chu Tiankuo, in order to prevent him from rescuing his imperial brother.
